The last time!!!!

57 gf. 

75 gf days! Yay!

93 days, that's mad! I'm proud of myself. The little demon is still very much with me, trying to tempt me occasionally. Not as much anymore but enough to keep me on my toes and remind me that I must stay strong.

Dear @moregamesmoreproblem,

congratulations on 93 days gamble free, that is a brilliant achievement. You sound really upbeat in your post and you have all the reasons to be proud of yourself.

Keep sharing your journey with us and keep up the focus.

Wishing you all the best,

Eva

I'm having a very stressful time at work which means that the temptation to gamble is huge..... Something to take my mind off all the work related drama. I've downloaded a couple of mindfulness apps, will give them a go.

I've put money aside in the hopes of going on a holiday this summer.... Which also seems like a gamble in the current world situation ??‍♀️

Well done ?  such a proud achievement

I've been ready your diary, can I ask does your husband know about your gambling now?

I only ask because I am in the same situation, I've lied for years to my husband that I was just playing free spins all the time ect. I too was like you, lying when money was needed because I had gambled it all. Its horrible what gambling makes us become. I still can't confess up, one I'm to ashamed and secondly my husband has his own troubles at the moment and I don't want to add to that. I did however tell him yesterday I've not played these so called free spins for 27 days and he asked why and I told him I had been reading how that can start a bad gambling problem. Felt good to actually admit a bit to him. Sure it will take me longer and when his better before I can admit the rest.

Quick update: 348 days free! Temptation still there but I'm aware of it and battling it by putting my mind to other things. I've not regretted any of the days when I didn't gamble and I must remember that always.

I've told my closest family that I developed a gambling addiction and have self excluded from any online casinos, I didn't go into all the details of it. I think nobody realised that I'd become addicted and they probably think I'm just being over cautious by excluding myself from any gambling activity. I'm not saying they were unsupportive of me but I don't think they understand quite how big the problem had become for me. I guess it's not a visible addiction like drinks etc.

I hope all of you are being strong and resolute against gambling. We've got this, one day at a time......Keep going everyone!!!
